the way ivan aivazovsky looks at the sea…i think…i think that’s what love looks like.

[soracities]

love is surrounding yourself with people who see you this clearly

Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more, he banged out these beauties in a day or two at most (and smaller ones ina matter of hours). The longest he spent on a painting, at age 81, to make his largest ever painting, was TEN DAYS:

It is 2.9×4.3 meters large. That’s 9'4"×14'1" for people in other measurement systems. It’s HUGE. There are artists out there that spend years on paintings much smaller than this. He was not one of them.

He also didn’t only paint the sea, but he MOSTLY painted the sea. Very few people could draw light filtering through waves the way this guy did and apparently it was tied into his layering technique that allowed him to paint so goddamn fast.

He is obviously my most favorite painter ever.

Do it scared. Do it hungry. Do it cold. Do it bleeding from your gums and hairline. Do it with a soul eating demon polar bear stalking you.

I hope the college student who got super into maritime history in 2020 and wrote a 150 page dissertation on cannibalism in women's shipwreck narratives would appreciate her work being "randomly" selected for promotion on the college library's socials by a student worker who got super into maritime history in 2025 (me)
